The ordinary California buznrd nnd tho singular ravens of Santa t'atallna Island often glvo marvelous exhibitions of soaring or rising Into the air with out moving their wings, and when It Is remembered that their bodies nro reduced to a minimum of weight, and that oven the bones uro filled with air, It Is almost scientifically and lit erally truo that they are living bal loons. As a stroller who had descend ed the bank bv a little trail nouched low In tho shadow of a wild lilac, ho saw against tho dark gieeu bank of the opposite canvon a cobweb afloat: then another, di If ting down the aerial channel on the wind. Otheis followed a procession of webs was passim?; some were long and formed nf u sin gle thread of silk; otheis had a deli cate mnsa of fabilo attached. Pres- cntly one of them came so near that he put out his hand and caught it. It was a perfect balloon, and tho ncronaut a small spider sat compla cently on' Its basket, a fluffy mass of web half an Inch In length, light as a feather, nnd supported by a long thread which reached away, undulat ing nnd curvlnjr upward. Scores of these aeronauts passed by drifting up tho llttlo canyon, borne aloft by the upward current of air. The stroller noticed a number of spiders on the leaves and branches In singular atti tudes, and then It occuriod to him that there was a spider migration, nnd that Instead of walking or crawl ing away, tho Insects were going, llko Andree, by balloon. More on tho leaves of the wild lilac were piepni Ing for the Jouincy across tho chasm, forming, building nnd launching their balloonr. A spider that had been ac tively climbing up a branch of a nelghboilng oak now stood on nil outer leaf nnd prepared to make lt3 balloon. It had n wonderful nrrnge ment of spinnerets In which the balloon-making material, which Is nls.) emploved to construct nets nnd traps, is stoied. Some of tho spiders have an addi tional spinning organ and a comb-like implement upon tho hind leg", by which they comb out the silk, making ti tangle of lino webs. Thus they nro well prepared to make cables for bal loons, guy lopes, net and, by the nil of tho combs, a Huffy platfoim web. Some of the spiders nindo little plat foims of Huffy web ns they went: others merely clung to the threail, but In some way or tho others score.i of them crossed the canyons nnd trav eled through the air, neionauts in all the name Implies. m LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE. Under this heading short letters of In terest will bo published when accompa nied, for publication, by the writer's name. Tho Tribune docs not nRstimo re sponsibility for opinions hero expressed. More Mayfleld Troubles. Hdltor of Tho Tribune. Sir: Slnco tho publication of my pre vlous letter on Mujllcld matters some Importnnt moves huvo been mode, the knowledge of which, for obvious reasons, ought to bo public property. Tho ex-treasurer has had his oppor tunity to ptovo that tho accountant's re pot t on tho borough finances were wrong. Unwillingly, he proved that they weie right. In presenting his report tho ac couutnnt snlil that ho had assumed that no money had been paid out of tho bo lough tieasury wltl'out orders from the council, and under these conditions there should havo been $1,3(W.'J1 In tho treasury at tho end of tho last fiscal year. The cx-treasurer showed that two tax collec tors ovvtd nt that time sums aggregat ing Jl-'-W, and tho balunco of the tl.LO) he inoie than covered ly amounts p.ilel without orders. Tho present treasurer drew special attention to the redemp tion of seven $b) bonds three months after tho e-tic.isiiier"s term had e. pliod. These bonds were then not due, weie not pic-ented lor tament, and tho council had given no Instructions for their redemption. Nevertheless, the ex treasurer claimed his commission on tho tians.ietlou and a right to consumniato the same. This has been e ailed a "com plete vindication." Let public opinion be tho judt'e. Hut public opinion Is a capricious Jade. 'I ho cx-treasurcr's supporters know that It cannot bo icllcd on to reinstate him nnd them to their former positions of power. Klection day Is nigh, and this Is how tiny planned to capture the reins of government: They formulated a ticket which they called a Citizens' ticket, then another which they called Republican. Uoth were allko us two peas, and both were regularly Hied In the countj com missioner's' olllce. Then thty resurrected tho diaphanous ghosts of tho dcad-nnd-burled Democratic party of Ma Held and with their aid a thlnl ticket was llled called tho Democratic. This, too, con tained tho same names, with minor ex ceptions, as the llrst two tickets. Now will somebrdy tell mo on which side of the feneo to look for these astute poli ticians. On January 24 tho Republicans of May field held u caucus which had been duly called by theli vigilance committee. Next day they took their ticket to Scranton to havo It llled, but found themselves troweled off tho ballot paper by the lte-publlcan-Dcmocratlc-Cltlzen party. It wns then reen very plainly that some body had been guilty of perjury. Attor ney IMvvarcls was emplojtd to bring tho matter before the court. The prelimin aries wero well advanced anil a day llxed for a hearing In court. It Is said that ono muy as well bo bung for a sheep as for a lamb; but tho peipettators of this fraud did not want to hang nt all. They were afruld even to face the court They hastily sent a man to havo their falso Republican ticket stricken off the records and the truo one allowed to have its proper place. Thus for the pres ent they escaped public discomfiture. But as tho names of the gulltv parties aro well known, it is possible that even et tho genial "John It." may be invited to rojio them In. In olden times men who descended to pfrjuty finished up by ascending the scaffold. In these pioro humane days men who descend to per jury should nt leust oblige their neigh bars by keeping out of politics. Thomas Boundy. Mnjlltld, Feb. 11. 1003. A BURNING MOUNTAIN. It Has Been on File for Over a Hun dred "Year's. Newcastle Concsponde nco Kansas C'ltv World. A mountain, which has been on file for nioio than one bundled yens, 's situated Just west of here. So close Ih It that its shadow envelops the town at S p. m. at this time of tho ear, and jot the people hoi eabouts think no moro of It than of the beautiful fliand river which wuMies the feet of the huge pile vvheie the flio has hutned so long. To tho tenderfoot, however, the glittering patches of deep iel Hie, wheio It bleaks out on tho side of the mountain, and Is exposed to view tlleie Is nothing In all this state quite Its equal. The llie is fed by d big vein of coal which the mountain contains. Just how the coal became Ignited Is not known. The oldest resident says It was on flio when ho enmo here, nnd tho Uto Indians, who onco lived In this M'ction, say It was burning many yeats before the first white man crossed tho continental ellvlde. Tho hupposltlon is that the coal was Ignited by a forest Uro at an eaily date In the piesent cen tury. It has smoldered and steadily burned until this day. At night, when tho moon Is dark, Is tho best time to see tho lire. Then it Is that It resembles tho regions of Inferno ns given us In tho word-painting of Dante. The earth covering the eoal Is loosened by tho heat and falls away, exposing tho sheet of fire. Tho escaping gas piobably assists In stripping off the rocks and dirt, and whet ever tho vein of coal appioaches the surface the fire can be seen. Th first fire I saw was fully fifty fet squat e. It had a peeullur red tint, while the burning gas coming up at the base of tho coal vein added a blight blue coloilng to thu scene. In muny places tho sin face of the moun tain has sunken, showing vvheie ths llio has burned out Its course. Hfforts havo been inudo to extin guish the llie.
